The 2025-26 NHL season for the Nashville Predators is shaping up to include some exciting matchups. The Predators will kick off their season on October 9 at home against the Columbus Blue Jackets, setting the stage for a competitive year.

Following their opener, Nashville will embark on a challenging Canadian road trip where they'll face the Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, and Winnipeg Jets. A notable highlight of the season will be their participation in the NHL Global Series, where they'll take on the Pittsburgh Penguins in Stockholm, Sweden, in mid-November.

December will see the Predators face off against the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, while a pause for the Olympic Winter Games in February will include representation from players like Roman Josi and Juuse Saros. The regular season will wrap up on April 16 against the Anaheim Ducks, culminating in a home stretch that could have significant playoff implications.
